Office enemies fight for the same promotion, while resisting their growing chemistry. LAYLA masks her insecurities behind perfectionism. The goofy girl who loved flowers and cooking for her parents is now a workaholic and out of touch with herself. All she's able to focus on is to get promoted so that she has a chance to feel confident and earn her dad's long-awaited approval. LUCAS hides a heavy burden with charm and nonchalance. The boy who used to be nurturing and open now pretends to joke around without a care. What he doesn't share is that he might want that promotion to fulfill his own voids just like her. One thing leads to another, and the two find themselves in unprofessional settings where their masks slowly come off, showing how similar they are, and just how much they might need each other. "Loved this story. It had everything that makes a story amazing. Fuming hot chemistry. Believable flawed characters that changed and matured through chapters. " - loriblu2000 "This was just the kind of story I've been looking for. So cute and also realistic. I adored the characters and their banters sooo much." - draama__queen "I absolutely adore Layla and Lucas and and they are characterized so beautifully that it's almost impossible for them not to become instant favorites." - Wisal13 "I LOVE Layla's strong character, the strong female lead because it's literally so rare, especially on Wattpad, and I loved that the male lead, not once tried to show how MANLY he is and exert his power because of his insecurities, like in most books." - maddylewis998 "This book made me laugh , cry and did some other things too hehe.. This is one of the best rom-com books I've ever read I have to re-read again.. Lots of love" - jamsniee "Sooo I started reading this at 1am and finished at 10:30 am... and it was so fking worth it!

The Laurent family was foolish enough to borrow from him. A debt they knew they could never repay. But the devil never waits for you to be ready when it's time to collect. When the hour came, the Laurents had nothing left to offer-except a promise made long ago. A daughter. A bride. They always knew this day would come. They just never expected him to choose the wrong girl. "I said I'd take a daughter as payment. I never said which one." Nicholas Santiago Rodriguez isn't a man you cross. He's a name spoken in fear-the man who owns both the skyscrapers that touch the clouds and the streets that run red beneath them. By day, he's the immaculate CEO of Rodriguez Enterprises, tailored Armani and power wrapped in a smile. By night, he's El Diablo-the devil who rules the Spanish cartels with iron fists and merciless precision. And when he comes to collect what's his, there is no escape. Annie Laurent is twenty-two. A newly minted family lawyer, fierce and kind, fighting to protect the innocent. She believes in justice, in love, in good people-until the devil comes to her door demanding payment. Her family owes him. And now, so does she. He was supposed to take her sister. He chose her instead. She's everything he's not-soft, gentle, good. But beneath those bright eyes burns a fire that tempts him to see how far he can go before she breaks. He wants to ruin her in every way possible-except one. He'll never let anyone else have her. Because once the Devil claims his Angel... he never lets go.
